• Union pipe fitting for joining two pipes
• Female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on both ends for connecting to male pipes
• Made from malleable iron for tensile strength
• National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for creating tighter seals than straight threads
• Galvanized finish resists rust in water, air, and steam applications

Size:2 Inch | Number of Items:1 This Anvil union is a malleable iron pipe
fitting with female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads for connecting two
pipes. It has three pieces and includes a threaded connection that can be
screwed or unscrewed to connect or disconnect pipes more easily than
couplings. The union has NPT threads on both ends for creating tighter seals
than straight threads. It is made of malleable iron, which has high tensile
strength, and has a galvanized finish that resists rust in water, air, and
steam applications. This class 150 fitting meets standards ASTM A-197, ASME B
1.20.1, and ASME B 16.3 for quality assurance. Class is a standard relating to
tolerance, construction, dimension, and wall thickness, but it is not a direct
measurement of maximum working pressure. Pipe fittings are components used for
connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of
piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider
the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size and required
durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes,
styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness). Anvil International
provides pipe products and design services. The company, founded in 1850 and
headquartered in Portsmouth, NH, meets International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) 9001:2000 standards and is certified by the American
Petroleum Institute (API). Its fittings meet American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
specifications.
